After signing the new contract, Johnny Depp immediately arranged for filming "Edward Scissor Hands" in the summer, and the director was Tim Burton.

Tim Burton is one of the most Gothic directors in Hollywood. His representative works include "Edward Scissor Hand", "Batman" series, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Barber Todd", "Blackhead Valley", "Alice in Wonderland" and "Miss Pe's Fantasy Castle", etc.

Tim Burton is also the director who works the most with Johnny Depp. They have collaborated on ten movies in total, each of which is a classic that movie fans talk about.

Tim Burton is developing very well now. In 1985, he directed his first feature film "The Absurd Adventures of Little Mixed Dan" and achieved a very good box office. The second feature film "Beetle Juice" also achieved a very good box office, ranking 14th in the 1988 box office rankings, which is a great success.

With two consecutive movies, Tim Burton immediately became the darling of Hollywood. He immediately got the opportunity to direct "Batman" and achieved a box office of 250 million US dollars, and the global box office was as high as 410 million US dollars, which can be said to be a great success.

Tim Burton has thus become one of Hollywood's most box office directors, with a strong limelight, and there are endless film companies that want to invite him to film.

This time Columbia Pictures invited him to shoot "Edward Scissor Hands" for a high price of $3 million, plus five percent of the global box office dividends.

However, the reason why Tim Burton agreed to direct this movie was not because of the high pay, but was moved by the script written by Xia Tian.

He felt that the script of Xia Tian was a story he had been fantasizing about since childhood. However, Xia Tian wrote it more detailed and moving than what he imagined, so he fell in love with this story as soon as he saw it, and for this he refused movies such as "The Savage City", "Happy Valley", and "Miller's Crossing".

The reason why the story of "Edward Scissor Hand" is so attractive to Tim Burton is actually very simple. Because this movie was filmed in his previous life, and it was the story creativity he provided. So now he gave this script to him in the summer, and he was naturally satisfied with it.

...

After watching the story of "Edward Scissor Hand", Johnny Depp was also very satisfied. His personality is quite unique, so he also has a special liking for such weird characters.

In addition, being able to work with a great director like Tim Burton is also a very rare opportunity for him, an unknown young man in the film industry, so he is looking forward to making this movie.

Even because of this movie, his resentment towards Xia Tian was much lessened. The reason why he was worried at the beginning was that he was afraid that Xia Tian would let him make bad movies. Once he destroyed his reputation and acting skills, he would never have a day to turn around.

Now, Xia Tian not only wrote the script for him, but also arranged for him to work with a well-known director. He had no intention of treating him badly, which made Johnny Depp feel a little moved and felt that he had blamed Xia Tian wrongly.

...

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp then met under the arrangement of the summer.

As soon as the two met, they immediately fell in love at first sight.

Tim Burton felt that Johnny Depp was not only handsome, with spiritual acting skills, but also had a very clear look, giving people a feeling of innocent and innocent as a baby. It was very suitable to play the role of Edward, the scissor hand, so he fell in love with him at a glance.

Johnny Depp had known Tim Burton's name for a long time, so he was naturally looking forward to working with this great director.

So the two hit it off.

...

As for the heroine, the original heroine is Winona Reid. She starred in her first film in 1986. Because of her pure temperament and beautiful face, she has been very popular since her debut and is known as "the lucky girl in the world."

Later, she collaborated with Tim Burton on "Beetle Juice" and achieved very good box office results. In addition, the "Sid Sisters Gang" starring her was nominated for Best Actress for the Independent Spirit Award.

It can be said that Winona Reed is an actress with both good looks and acting skills. However, Xia Tian did not intend to use her.

Because "Edward Scissor Hand" is a classic work destined to be a film history, the so-called "wealth is not flowing from outsiders" is a good work like this, of course, it is the first thing to do to focus on one's own people.

What's more, Winona Reid will fall in love with Johnny Depp in this movie. Their love will erupt like a volcano and return to silence three years later.

This relationship will ruin Winona Reid, transforming her from a loved angel to a walking dead thief, and causing her to lose her career and love.

So for her sake, it is best not to let her play this role, so as not to let her see Johnny Depp again and repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

...

Summer is ready to let Sophie Marceau replace Winona Reed.

However, after audition, Tim Burton felt that Sophie Marceau was too mature and too sexual, which did not match the heroine in the movie.

Because the heroine in "Edward Scissor Hand" should be pure and angel-like, too mature, too beautiful, too sexual, but it is not possible.

Tim Burton still prefers to star in Winona Reid. They have worked together on "Beetle Juice" before, and Tim Burton is very satisfied with her.

After summer thought about it, he recommended Jennifer Connery to him.

Although Jennifer Connery is not his woman yet, he is already his possession. Because he has made a bet with the Presbyterian Zion that as long as the Fuso stock market falls by more than 20%, he will win.

At that time, the Presbyterian Zion will not only help him acquire CBS TV, but will also marry Jennifer Connery, a great beauty who is worried about the Pacific.

Now that the Fuso stock market collapse is certain, he will win this time, so Jennifer Connery is destined to be his woman.

Although Jennifer Connery was known for her beauty and acting skills in her previous life, she actually had few representative works. Because in the early days of her acting career, directors used her as a vase and made many bad movies for this.

By the time her acting skills were valued, she was already in her thirties and passed the golden period of her actress' acting career, so there were not many film appointments in the future. Even if there were, most of them were supporting roles.
